Keeping the same lightweight construction and technology, we redesigned the tip shape to keep the nose above the surface, rounded the tail to make the Nano more surfy, and decreased the height of the tip rocker - effectively lengthing the radius to make the turn engagement smoother. The result is the ultimate mid-fat waisted backcountry ski in the 1200 gram range. Lighter underfoot without sacrificing hard snow and amazing powder performance, this ski lets you get more laps in!

Customer Reviews

This ski is basically magic. They have changed the game for me in the back country. The best thing about the Nano is that even though they are so crazy light, they still charge and don't chatter at all. I have even skied them in-bounds on hard pack and find them remarkable damp. They are so easy to ski and are so much easier on my knees then to be powering a wooden ski around. I am a "quiver skier" but end up skiing on these guys most days at this point. They are not inexpensive but are worth EVERY penny in performance. I think this is hands down the best ski in the La Sportiva lineup!

Review for VAPOR NANO

Bought a pair of Vapor Nano's from Backwoods Mountain Sports. Best touring ski I have owned, have skied both deep snow in our local backcountry to Sun Valley Bald Mt. ski runs.
